Thanks for the confirmation! After reading this, I just ordered an ODBLink LX to reset the initial break-in service reminder. What Bluetooth adapter are you using?

It turned out to be pretty simple to do. Remove front panel over headlights by pulling downward. Unscrew ODB2 cable from it's holder:
Plug in the ODBLink LX:
Follow the instructions for setting it up on your phone, then fire up Motoscan ($28 for the "Professional" version) to update the service reminder:
All in all, being able to reset the service reminder costs $118, or about half the cost of just getting the service done. It's probably not worth it for 1-time use, but if you are doing all of your own service, I can see this as a valuable tool. Thanks for the tip!

Yes! I am able to reset service minders with it. It does not do as much as some but it does enable you to set service minders and get fault codes. I had to follow the instructions that I have attached here for resetting the minders.
